on a couple of great points there and i would like to give you a historic reference which was henry kissinger used to say the first question in a crisis is, where are the aircraft carriers? the reason that question is asked, aircraft carriers are sovereign american territory. we have forces stationed in the middle east in many of the countries because we always have to coordinate with those governments what military actions we take the real advantage of a aircraft carrier it is able to move wherever it wants and do whatever it wants without permission from a third country. the president and national command authority love to have aircraft carriers because they are flexible and can respond to emerging crises without coordination with countries that may not support our foreign policy and security goals. melissa: that's a great point. even when they were out there they replenish the ship by bringing another ship next door to it and fuel and supplies and jet fuel for that very point that you made so they don't have to go into port with a country that may or may not want them. they can stay on the

his other targets included bill clinton, henry kissinger and mother theresa. before he died of cancer in december, i had a final conversation about life and death. >> what's the worst part? is it it puts some sense of mortality in your focus? >> no because i think focusing on mortality is a useful thing. you should always know your time is very limited and that you're lucky to live in the time and place where you can be healthy until you're 60 as i was. most people in history never have a chance to even hope for a thing like that. so no for the avoidance of hubris, i think it's good to have a sober feeling of the presence of death. >> as he was dying he wrote his final book appropriately titled "mortality." welcome. his which had tow is here. >> welcome, charlie. >> you were there sitting on the couch as we talked. he was having a hard time as i remember, but he insisted in going on. >> yes. >> he had that spirit until the end. >> absolutely. until really hours before he died. >> in a sense he was optimistic that somehow he would survive this and the end was u

have to wait not kissinger before one gets to that power. we have to be careful before we make too much of the position of jews the south. remember, many areas of the south, whites were a minority, and whenever you have a white -- charleston had a big jewish community. when you have a white minority, jews are going to be accepted because the white minority is interested in taking every pale face to their side, in a sense, the lines are racial rather than religious, and so long as jews don't rock the boat and go along with the values of the minority group, they can gain acceptance. so, while i think it is true that in areas of the south jews did win more acceptance than they did in the north, it is rather important to remember the context under which that happened, which is not all together pretty, and that makes the story look a little bit different. but it is worth remembering that the vast majority of jews were in the north, probably -- there are 150,000 jews at that time. 120,000 or so in the north. only about 30,000 in the south. >> rabb
